The Tate Twins pinned The Best Friends, Chuck Taylor & Trent Baretta in the opening match. Best Friends looked good. Crowd did not know what to make of The Best Friends.

Sonjay Dutt pinned Jamin Olivencia after a big splash off the top. Olivencia played old school heel berating ring announcer for not pronouncing his name correctly.

Thea Trinadad pinned Lei'D Tapa with a spinning DDT in a classic David vs. Goliath match.

Moose pinned 2 Cocky Kevin Matthews after a spear. Matthews pinned Moose with a roll up which got reversed by officials and they restarted the match. Moose did the Dusty Rhodes flip flop & fly into a bionic elbow which got a huge pop. Moose the most over performer of the night so far.

Chris "Adonis" Mordetzky (aka Chris Masters) defeated "5 Star" Dustin Starr (local guy) with the Masterlock. Ring announcer played up his local West Tennessee connection. Lot of back & forth and hope spots for Starr.

Jim Cornette came out to thank the fans. He paid tribute to Dusty Rhodes and did a ten bell salute. He the introduced Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett thanked the fans.

Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows with Bullet Babe pinned the New Heavenly Bodies. Before the match Bodies cut a promo on Cornette and the original Heavenly Bodies. Causing Jim Cornette to cheer on/stay at ringside with the Bullet Club. Bodies worked over Anderson until he tagged in Gallows. Cornette nailed one of the Bodies with the racket allowing Gallows to get the win. After match Jarrett comes out and shakes hand with Bullet Club.

Tate Twins def Best Friends (Trent Baretta and Chuck Taylor)Slow developing match with several high spots. For the finish Baretta misses an attempted super-kick, hits Taylor and the Tate’s take advantage for the win. Tensions running high after the match before the Best Friends Hug It out.

Sonjay Dutt and Chase Owens def Jason Kincaid and Jamin OlivenciaBest match on the card from the standpoint of wrestling action. Owens and Kincaid were spectacular exchanging high spots and carefully executed holds and counters. Owens executes the Package Pile Driver to capture the victory.

Thea Trinidad def Lei’D TapaObvious David vs. Goliath feel with the massive size differential. Tapa controls majority of the match using her superior strength before a surprise roll-up from Trinidad brings her the unexpected win. Tapa goes crazy after the match claiming only a two count and proceeds to slam the referee.

Moose def Kingo Kong .Crowd reaction for the Moose chant was encouraging but the ring action was labored and slow. Several missed spots but in the end Moose corrals the win. The crowd was behind Moose, especially when he brought out the Dusty Rhoades tribute elbow, but they clearly wanted more from him.

Chris Mordesky (Chris Masters) def Devin DriscollMasters still looks phenomenal and Driscoll, a Knoxville native and former WWE/Developmental talent got the biggest pop of the night. It was a really solid match as both big guys used their strength, several holds, feats of power and some really good power bomb variations. Driscoll looked especially strong with some of the best punches of the entire show. In the end Masters applied the patented Master Lock hold and Driscoll was unable to answer the count.

Jim Cornette was introduced to the crowd and he spoke of his passion for the Knoxville Wrestling scene and out of respect gave the 10 bell salute to the great Dusty Rhodes. He introduced Jeff and Karen Jarrett who thanked the fans for coming out to the park.

Main Event:The Bullet Club (Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows w/ The Bullet Babe) def New Heavenly Bodies w/Former Tennessee Head Basketball Coach Donnie TyndallCornette, racket in hand, addressed the crowd and Coach Tyndall. Tthe former mentor did a solid job of stating his reasons for being here.Good match with action all over the baseball diamond. The Bodies got the upper hand early before Anderson slipped away hot tagged Gallows who proceeded to clean house. Several near falls and two counts before Coach Tyndall inexplicably pulls one of the Bodies off Gallows as the referee counts. An argument ensues while Cornette moves to the other side of the six-sided ring and slips the racket to Anderson who proceeds to use it on one of the Bodies. Tyndall then does the same with his clipboard and the Bullet Club rolls them up for the victory.

MAGNUS UPDATESBy Mike Johnson on 2015-06-29 13:05:51In a clarification from over the weekend, Magnus' TNA deal expired. We were led to believe by a TNA source that Magnus had requested a release, similar to James Storm, but he was actually in the same boat as Austin Aries, not Storm. I believe Magnus was the last of the top-heavy contracts TNA had left on their books beyond names like Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle.

Magnus has already announced his next move as Global Force Wrestling issued the following:

Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and UK superstar, Nick Aldis, formerly known as Magnus at TNA Wrestling, has signed on with Global Force Wrestling and will be part of their next GFW Grand Slam Tour live events on July 9 in Wisconsin, July 10 in Pennsylvania, and July 11 in Ohio. He will also be headlining the first ever world television taping on July 24th, in Las Vegas.

“I’m ready to explore opportunities as a free agent that haven’t been open to me before. Jeff Jarrett has been instrumental in my career development and I have always respected him as a performer and promoter. As soon as I heard about GFW I knew that one way or another I would play a part. I’m very excited about that.,” said Aldis.

GFW Founder and CEO Jeff Jarrett could not be happier that Magnus has decided to join the force. “Nick is one of the brightest stars in professional wrestling today and I could not be more excited to have him front and center promoting GFW. His star power in the UK will help give Global Force Wrestling the brand exposure we are looking for.”

Aldis also appeared on the United Kingdom revival of Gladiators, where he was known by the name Oblivion.

“Aldis star power transcends pro wrestling and he is someone that we have had our eye on for months,” said Karen Jarrett Co Founder of Global Force Wrestling.

NASHVILLE – Global Force Wrestling is following up its #GFWGrandSlamTour and its TV tapings at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas with its first events outside of the United States, in October in the United Kingdom.

“I’m thrilled to be heading to the UK to share the GFW brand with the incredible fans across the pond,” Jeff Jarrett said. “Since day one no fan base has inundated us with more requests to bring a show to them than those in the United Kingdom.

“What’s unique about this is we wanted to bring high-caliber shows to towns that haven’t previously had access to them, with most touring companies staying exclusively in major cities like London, Manchester and Glasgow. We decided to give new towns an opportunity to experience a great live wrestling event.”

Aldis, who recently made a successful debut in GFW, is from King’s Lynn.

“I’m excited and proud to be part of GFW’s first UK shows,” said Aldis. “It will be great to finally appear on a major show in my hometown. I hope the fans feel as excited as I do.”

Bobby Roode cut a promo, vowing to take the Global Title to TNA because Jeff Jarrett took the King of the Mountain Title away from him and TNA. Magnus came out to defend GFW, but he was attacked from behind by Kongo Kong. Roode applied the Crossface before leaving.

(3) KUSHIDA beat Virgil Flynn III, replacing Chris Sabin. Virgil is small at 5'7" and 157 lbs., but the crowd pulled for him a lot and wanted the upset. It was not to be.

Out came Harvey Maxwell, who was greeted by a "Who are you?" chant. He started singing "America the Beautiful" poorly when the Akbars interrupted. They said they are number one and will win the Tag Title tournament. Then out came the Bollywood Boys to a nice reaction. That led to...

(4) Bollywood Boys beat The Akbars in a GFW Tag Tournament match.

Karen Jarrett came out next. Karen said that she is going to make sure the ladies are not overlooked in GFW. She said a ladies match will be the main event tonight. Then Lei'D Tapa came out with her husband manager. She said that Karen isn't fulfilling her promises to her and is all about Mickie James. This led to Karen booking the advertised three-way match next.

(5) Christina Von Eerie beat Mickie James and Lei'D Tapa in a three-way Women's Tournament match. Tapa was much bigger than other two, so they tried to double-team Tapa. In the end, Von Eerie got the win over Tapa. Eerie is billed from Reno, so she was the crowd favorite with lots of "oy!" chants.

[Intermission]

(6) Jigsaw beat Sonjay Dutt in a Nex*Gen Tournament match. Jigsaw won a good back and forth match. In fact all of the Next*Gen matches and the luchadors six-man tag were great high-flying, back-and-forth matches that the crowd loved.

Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen came out next to cut a heel promo. Sonnen said he's the man and we all suck. Phil Baroni, who has been training with Future Stars of Wrestling, was in the crowd and the audience chanted his name. Sonnen said if they fought again, he would win. Sonnen then brought out Virgil Flynn. He said Flynn impressed Jeff Jarrett and is now in the Nex*Gen tournament. This brought out P.J. Black, who told him, "Great showing tonight," then shook his hand and proceeded to superkick him. Black left.

(7) Chris Masters (Chris Mordetzy) beat Brian Myers (Curt Hawkins) in a Global Title tournament match. Masters won with the Masterlock. During match it looked like Myers took a nasty fall to the outside, but maybe it was not as bad as I thought since he finished the match okay.

(8) Reno Scum beat Los Luchadors. Reno got the "oy!" chants throughout and eventually got the win. Good match.

(9) Bobby Roode beat Kevin Kross via submission in a Global Title tournament match. Roode made Kross tap out to the cross-face.

Jeff Jarrett was out next to thank the Orleans Arena executives for making this the new home for GFW TV. He thanked the athletes in the back, the fans, and everyone for their support. He said that Shelton Benjamin, Killer Elite Squad of Davey Boy Smith, Jr. & Lance Hoyt, and the Bullet Club are coming soon to GFW. Booby Roode was out next. He said he's the man and Jarrett replied by booking Roode against Eric Young in the next match of the tournament. Jarrett left as Roode thought about this new development.

The main event was next with Magnus facing Kongo Kong. Harvey Maxwell wa out first to introduce Kong as his friend and monster in the ring.

(10) "Magnus" Nick Aldis beat Kongo Kong in a Global Title tournament match. The match was fine. Highlights included Aldis giving the 400-lb. Kong a superplex. The finish saw Kong miss a top-rope moonsault, leading to Aldis hitting a chokeslam-like finisher for the win.

The show ended with an announcement of next month's TV taping on August 21 here at the Orleans.

I give the show a 7.5 out of 10. It was the first wrestling show I've been to in over four years and I wasn't disappointed. Hopefully they announce a TV deal soon to see some of these matches again.

Pre-show notes: Very disappointing turn-out. There were about 200 people. However, the people that were in attendance were very passionate. There were mic issues early on.

(1) Ryan McQueen (local) beat Sonjay Dutt and a third masked wrestler, whose name was not clear due to the mic issues. Dutt hid out for the first minute before attacking McQueen. The masked wrestler and Dutt then battled for a few minutes. McQueen laid out Dutt with a superkick and then McQueen and The Masked Wrestler went at it while Dutt really sold on the outside. Dutt then came back in and attacked both wrestlers before focusing on the masked wrestler. McQueen hit a brainbuster suplex on the Masked Wrestler after disposing of Dutt for the victory.

(3) Christina Von Eerie beat Amber O'Neal. O'Neal dominated the first few minutes. Von Eerie than made a comeback to the cheers of the crowd. O'Neal regained control and dominated the middle of the match with Von Eerie getting a few hope spots before getting cut off each time by O'Neal. The crowd was really behind Von Eerie as O'Neal cheated. Von Eerie then got a surprise victory out of nowhere to the delight of the crowd.

The crowd came to life for the next match...

(4) Nick Aldis (Magnus) beat Chris Mordetzky (formerly Chris Masters). Lots of chain wrestling in the early minutes with Aldis playing to the crowd. Lots of "Magnus" chants causing Mordetzky to go to the outside to stall before returning to the ring for Aldis to regain the advantage. Mordetzky got the advantage with a elbow to the face leading to action on the outside. Back in the ring, Mordetzky locked in an abdominal stretch. Mordetzky then played to the crowd as they heckled them. Mordetzky teased a People's Elbow before signaling for the Masterlock, but Aldis reversed for a two count. Aldis then briefly gained control and locked in a Boston Crab. Mordetzky escaped, then reversed into a sit-down powerbomb for a very believable two count. Mordetzky went for the Masterlock again, but Aldis reversed into a Rock Bottom variation for the victory.

Back to action, where P.J. Black (formerly Justin Gabriel) came out as the heel addressing us as Sacramento. He stated that his match will only last 30 seconds, which brought out Virgil Flynn to the loudest ovation this far. Flynn is somehow half the size of Black.

(5) Virgil Flynn (local wrestler) beat P.J. Black. The match began with some chain wrestling with Black having the early advantage. Flynn then got a few quick spots before Black halted the action with a superkick to gain control. This was definitely going longer than 30 seconds. Back and forth action, then Black attempted to dump Flynn to the outside, but Flynn countered with a plancha to the roar of the crowd. Back in the ring, Flynn blocked a 450 splash, went for it again, but missed. Black then ran into powerslam from the 150 lb. man for the pin.

Jeff Jarrett came out to his TNA theme. Jarrett thanked Reno Wrestling Factory, The Reno Aces, and the fans.

Main Event Time. Bullet Club came out to tons boos. Reno Scum came out to the biggest cheers of the night, with lots of "OY..OY" chants.

(6) Reno Scum (Luster & Adam Thornstowe) beat Bullet Club (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows w/Amber O'Neal). Lots of stalling with Bullet Club getting boos and Reno Scum getting very loud cheers. A kid could be heard yelling "wrestle already" and the match then got underway. Early domination by Scum on Anderson, then Gallows. Bullet Club then took the action to the outside ramming both members of Reno Scum into the dugout/backstop before taking the advantage back to the ring. Reno Scum got a brief advantage before Anderson used outside tactics to stop it. Gallows then got knocked to the outside to be tended by O'Neal leading to Reno Scum regaining the advantage to the delight of the crowd, who continued to chant "OY...OY." But, Bullet Club got the fall with a double-team neckbreaker, the Magic Killer, for the victory.

Post-match, the crowd booed as Gallows said something that couldn't be heard because the mic kept cutting out. Anderson then thanked the fans as Reno Scum and Bullet Club shook hands and posed to end the show. They closed with the chance to take pictures with Jeff Jarrett for $20.

Overall, despite mic issues, this was a very entertaining two hours of wrestling action. I encourage all to support local wrestling. Tonight's show educated me on the local wrestling scene here in Reno and I will make sure to catch the next local show.

The following are live event results from the Global Force Wrestling show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa last night:

Colt Cabana defeated Daivari

Tommaso Ciampa defeated Kevin Matthews

Mickie James defeated ODB

Jeff Jarrett entered the ring to thank the crowd, but he was cut off by The New Heavenly Bodies. Jarrett mocked them, but ended up getting beat down until Zero Gravity (CJ Esparza and Brett Gakiya) made the save, and it led into the next match.

9/5 GLOBAL FORCE WRESTLING IN CLINTON, IOWA RESULTSBy George Harris on 2015-09-06 08:57:20 I attended the GFW show in Clinton, Iowa last night. It was cool to see wrestling in an outdoor stadium. There were about 300-400 there. To my surprise, Colt Cabana worked the main event, which was cool because I came to the show because he was on it.*They opened the show with Sonjay Dutt beating DJ Zema with a flip into a double stomp. Good match.

*Matt Bentley beat Tommaso Ciampa and Kevin Matthews. Bentley is the former Michael Shane who lives in the area and this was the first time I've seen him in forever. He was announced as from Clinton and got a big reaction.

*They had a segment where Hacksaw Jim Duggan came out to speak to the fans but Arya Daivari came out to run him down, leading to Duggan running him out of the ring.

*ODB beat Mickie James. OK.

*Magnus, uh, I mean, Nick Aldis beat Chris Mordetsky. Really good.

*The New Heavenly Bodies beat Zero Gravity. No one cared.

*Jeff Jarrett came out and praised the fans for their support, then personally introduced Colt Cabana. Cabana went on to defeated Daivari. Duggan returned to nail Daivari with the 2x4 to set up the ending

Show started with a promo with Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett and Chael Sonnen where Sonnen made fun of Karen leaving Kurt Angle for Jeff. She slapped him and screamed he wouldn’t be in GFW if not for her husband.

Global ChampionshipNick Aldis def Bobby Roode for the GFW Title– Post match there was a beatdown from Chris Morteszky and busted open Aldis. They stopped the show to replace the canvas. Aldis was a bloody mess and they rushed him to the back.
